Store-bought cookies. Usually crunchy, very sweet, and always taste better with milk. Even though they’re not a homemade cookie fresh from the oven, they have a special place in my heart. For some reason after I eat one pecan sandie cookie, I have to go back for another. Another good one is those sugar wafer cookies. You know, the ones that are either peanut butter, vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry?

Yeah, those.

This might be just me, but I always take them apart, layer by layer, and then lick the sugary stuff (It’s not really icing…) off before eating the wafers themselves. Am I the only one who does that? My grandpa always gets those for our vacation during the summer and we kids would sneak to grandma and grandpa’s cabin to eat wafer cookies and watch cartoons!

But whenever someone says “store-bought cookies”, my mind immediately goes to one particular type of cookie. One that is my favorite cookie to dip in milk! Can you guess what it is?

Well, if you guessed Oreos, you’re right! I love Oreos SO MUCH! Besides being delicious by themselves, they also serve to be a great way to make truffles! Like, the best truffles ever. Needless to say, Oreos are useful in many ways in the kitchen. But one thing we didn’t really think to do was to put them in icing. I know, I’m crazy for not thinking of this sooner!

When we were running out of ideas for what to put on some random brownies for a work party, Mom decided to make an Oreo frosting. She nailed it, for sure!

Using half shortening and half butter to make it taste more like an Oreo filling and about 15 Oreos, we created the ULTIMATE Oreo frosting! Seriously. This frosting tastes amazing.

Have you ever had an Oreo blizzard from somewhere like Dairy Queen, or McDonald’s? Well, this icing has that same sweetness and tastes just like the middle of an Oreo. But I like to think the icing tastes better than those ice cream blizzards, just because it’s homemade. 🙂 And it’s frosting! What could go wrong with frosting?

I’ve sort of spent this whole post talking about how good the frosting is. But are you one of those people that likes the Oreo cookie better than the Oreo frosting? I’m really undecided myself- the frosting is too sweet by itself, and the cookie is not sweet enough without the frosting. I guess I love them both together. But for you Oreo cookie fans, this chocolate cake recipe is SO much better than the Oreo cookie. I say cake, but this Oreo Whoopie Pie a little thicker than cake. Like a VERY cake-like cookie! Or a cake the size of a cookie. Whatever you want to call it, this cake/cookie goes perfectly with the delicious Oreo icing, to make the best Oreo whoopie pie ever!
